Smash mains, personalities and stuff

I swear it's because I love spamming the up+b.

Same here, but I spam side-b with Dark Pit.

I couldn't hold a candle to anyone else, but when I play, I use Fox.

When I started, I'd spam thunderbolt with Pikachu so much that all of my friends hated me. And then they'd still beat me and make me feel like a horrible person. After that went on for a while, I decided to man up and learn to fight for reals. So I threw away the mouse and picked up the fox.

Ok but for real though I almost always play Lucario now, but it isn't very often since I don't have a Wii. Or friends that have a Wii. Or friends.

Am I the only one who dislikes hearing tips and stuff to coach me? Because often when I lose I feel like I know what I did wrong and that I just didn't "played the game right" and that's why I lost. And I also like figuring out things myself in order to improve rather than "better" people sitting saying "this is what you should do against x character" or "this player really does x stuff a lot, take note of that".

this makes no sense to me as you ask for tips on arranging all the time.

I will give Tobbeh some credit and say that it does indeed make sense: when he feels like he knows what he did wrong, he's able to learn by himself, but when he has no clue how to get better and proceed, then he asks for "tips and stuff."

I understand what he meant, but if your goal is to improve, you will ALWAYS listen.  Always.

Where's the like button?

Most of the time I ask for others opinion to see different sides of the matter and to see if people have a better way of, for example, notating some part. And I listen to see if people have convincing opinions, then I might follow their ideas.

I've played Melee in tournaments for almost two years and I've gone through a good share of the top tiers before finally deciding on Fox and Marth. I swore to myself a few months in that I would never play Fox, but then I played him one day as a joke and fell in love. I started off with Falco, then had a brief stint with Samus, then was a strict Sheik main for a solid year. Hated all of them after a while.

I main Jigglypuff. But I'm really good with Rosalina & Luma, Duck Hunt, Bowser Jr., Yoshi, and Bowser. And I can play decently with about ten others on the roster.

We got a Samus main, ex Luigi main, whom we used to joke with when he switched. Saying that "You started with Luigi, now you're going Samus, when will you end up if you keep climbing the tier list ladder"!

The thing is, my mains are usually top tier characters (except for Ness, but I would have to disagree with his tier position ), but whenever I actually use them I feel too stereotypical or "fake" 'coz I'm just playing the stereotypically highest rated character, even if I have practices with them and can do decently well with them (not just like a noob who picks up a top tier just to try to get gud). I mean sure I feel justified using Fox since I have a connection with the Star Fox franchise, but when using Marth or something like that I just feel so hokey, kinda like "I've never actually played Fire Emblem and everyone knows Marth is top-notch, this is so ridiculous". Also weirdly, of course my mains are also influenced by the franchises that I like, like Samus, Captain Falcon, and Ness, but I feel that I don't really have the legitimacy to play as a character from a franchise I haven't played it don't know much about, kinda like "Imma just play as this character just to milk their Smash potential and not actually appreciate what game they came from and how they got molded into the Smash universe".
